dutchbarge Posted 5 May , 2008 Share Posted 5 May , 2008 I'm sure one (probably most) Forum menbers can help me identify the 'V' below this collar badge. Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
findabetterole Posted 5 May , 2008 Share Posted 5 May , 2008 I'm sure one (probably most) Forum menbers can help me identify the 'V' below this collar badge. Cheers, Bill The 'V' (worn only by battalion officers) denotes that the individual is an officer of a pre-territorial battalion = Volunteers.

kloughnane Posted 5 May , 2008 Share Posted 5 May , 2008 Bill, I suspect that the regiment may be The Glamorgan Yeomanry. Regards, Kev Loughnane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
findabetterole Posted 5 May , 2008 Share Posted 5 May , 2008 I would have guessed at the 'Monmouthshire Regt'. Seph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Gibson Posted 5 May , 2008 Share Posted 5 May , 2008 I would have to agree with you Seph. Attached is a picture of a Officers collar badge on a Uniform of an officer of the Monmouthshire Regiment. Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbrydon Posted 5 May , 2008 Share Posted 5 May , 2008 I think there is some confusion here between the pre 1908 Volunteer battalion ( which in 1908 became the Territorials )and the WW1 VTC`s which later became Volunteer battalions of county regiments. The "V" below the collar badge in the illustation is ,I believe,as worn in the WW1 period.This has been the subject of earlier threads. P.B.

findabetterole Posted 5 May , 2008 Share Posted 5 May , 2008 I'll agree with you there 'P.B' on the confusion issue. The 'V' was widely worn by the relevant btn's during WW.1. I've illustrated an example below for the Lancashire Fusiliers: 1916. Seph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
